Carrots are a versatile tool in the kitchen, giving you plenty of healthy ways to incorporate them into any lunch or dinner. We love boiling carrots, making them have a pleasant texture that works well as a side dish if you give them a little bit of extra excitement. We like to do so with a soy sauce-based glaze that also includes a bit of honey and ginger. Let’s learn how to make it!
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby carrots, or regular carrots cut into small slices
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon powdered ginger
- Water (for boiling)
Instructions
Start off by bringing water to boil in a pot on high heat on the stove. Reduce to medium heat and add the carrots, boiling for around six to eight minutes or until mostly soft.
While the carrots are boiling, place the soy sauce and the powdered ginger in a large pan on the stove and heat on medium heat. After the carrots are cooked, drain them and place them in the pan along with the soy sauce and ginger and cook for two to three minutes.
Next, add the honey and cook until glazed and slightly browned. This usually takes a couple of minutes. Remove, serve, and enjoy!
